No One Sleeps
02:14

No one sleeps in this house anymore
So I might as well not get outta' bed
I can't sleep
I can't do it anymore
I'll get up
Make up a disguise instead
Close your eyes
Open up
Make up a disguise
No one sleeps in this house anymore
So I might as well just stay in bed
I can't sleep
No, I can't do it anymore
I'll get up
Make up a disguise instead
Close your eyes
Open up
Make up a disguise
No one sleeps
No one speaks

Tell Me How You Are
02:26

Tell me how you are
And was it all a waste?
Tell me where you've been
And how did ya' get there and when did it happen?
Tell me all about your time spent
Leave a note by the door
Was it all a waste?
Since you threw it away
And I don't wanna' play the games you play
I'll do it my own way
So put your bills away and kindly steer your attention
(Over there, just look over there)
Tell me, just who did you think I was?
A chap you could string along to weave yourself
Well, my kind is gone
This I know
So you're shit outta' luck
Leave a note by the door 'cause either way I'll be on my way

23
02:37
|
|||
You left home without a trace
Nowhere to go
No one to know your name
In my mind I knew you'd be
You'd be just fine
You're only 17
Suburban streets, they're all you know
You found love here 9 years 3 months ago
Fast-forward now you're 23
Few friends, no job, future uncertainty
You know everything about nothing
My parents on the cusp of 60
Where does time go and would you please take me?
'Cause if I go or if you leave
We'll have this song
We'll call it 23
We'll sing every day about nothin'
Nowhere to go
No one to know

Strong, yet Weak
05:26
|
|||
You seem so bored with everything that's happening
You seem so torn
Between a rock and hard place
Tired, uninspired and you really want to leave
But leaving won't solve nothin' if you can't stand on both feet
You know you're strong, yet weak
I seem happy but you know me
I keep a smile on my face
Worry about it tomorrow 'cause tomorrow's a new day
This I need to change
My life starts today
Nothin' seems too clear right now so I will sing a song
They can hum along
My eyes can't see clear right now through all the smoke and fog
So close your eyes, recall (close your eyes and)
Being young again, getting fucked up with best friends
Sex in the car, how I never learned to dance
Soon you'll see that the memories hold strong
And strong outweighs weak
Do you remember when we'd get in the car and drive around just for the fuck of it?
I want those times back
We wasted gas and we wasted time
Wouldn't trade it for the world
I swore I'd never lie
I think it was time well spent
You just don't know it yet
Strong outweighs weak
Soon, in time you'll see you're strong
Everything is clear right now so I will sing a song
You could sing along
My eyes can see clear right now 'cause all the smoke is gone
So close your eyes, recall (open your eyes)
Being young again, getting fucked up with best friends
Sex in the car, how I still can't dance
Soon you'll see that the memories hold strong
And strong outweighs weak
You just don't know it yet

Take Me Too
04:46
|
|||
Rest your eyes and fear nothing
What you heard is true
Every day it dawns on me who was taken from here was you
It only feels like yesterday I was sittin' right here with you
Step back, recount, recall the times
All of the summers spent in June
Take me too
I fear nothing
Take me too
I fear nothing
If there's room for two
I'm coming with
Life isn't worth living without you
Rest your eyes and fear nothing
What you heard is still true
Every day it dawns on me that soon I'll be taken too
If it happens will you still remember me?
If it happens will they still remain the same?
Take me too
I fear nothing
How 'bout you?
Without you
Take me too

Control
03:07
|
|||
If I knew half as much then as I know now I could've stored it in my brain
I wouldn't feel so old
If I knew all of you way back then
We all coulda' been friends
I wouldn't feel alone
But I know that one day some things will change
Just can't let shit get in the way
We could take a trip by boat, train or plane
We could go anywhere
I just wanna' leave home
I know that one day some things will change
Just can't let shit get in the way
But I know now I am the one in control
Yes I know
I know now I am the one in control
Anywhere

You're Gonna' Make It
03:31
|
|||
Can you please direct me to the nearest exit?
I want out
'Cause I've been thinkin' much more clearly now more than ever
If all you do is believe what you want to achieve shouldn't that be enough for you now?
I've been goin' crazy with thoughts of 17
Do I even make you proud?
It takes a little thing called hope and love
Can you please direct me to the nearest exit?
I want out
'Cause I've been dreamin'
I'm always dreamin'
I'm thinking much more clear now
If all you do is believe what you want to achieve shouldn't that be enough for you now?
'Cause I've been goin' crazy with thoughts of everything
Do I even make you proud?
It takes a little thing called hope and love
And I know that you're gonna' make it
Make it out
Yeah, I know that you're gonna' make it
Make it out

Grasshopper
03:18
|
|||
As the grasshoppers keep tempo with the words that leave my throat
Would you sing along with me?
And with death being inevitable
Would you make this moment memorable with me, please?
We all know that we're dying inside
The least we can do is spark a light in the lives we all choose to lead
As the insects fall asleep the morning birds will soon wake
All while a war begins to rage and babies are born across the states
That's love and hate
We all love
Can you relate?
